Leader

Famous quotes containing the word leader:

“To be a leader of men one must turn one’s back on men.”
—Havelock Ellis (1859–1939)

“The exile is a singular, whereas refugees tend to be thought of in the mass. Armenian refugees, Jewish refugees, refugees from Franco Spain. But a political leader or artistic figure is an exile. Thomas Mann yesterday, Theodorakis today. Exile is the noble and dignified term, while a refugee is more hapless.... What is implied in these nuances of social standing is the respect we pay to choice. The exile appears to have made a decision, while the refugee is the very image of helplessness.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

“The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
